Lentil & Spinch Bake [Redux]

This was created, when I had found that the only cheese available was frozen and, I wanted a lentil bake quickly, to serve with some smoked Haddock. As it was, this alternative to the original recipe was just as nice as the original and worth taking a note of, I thought.



Take half a mug of lentils and, put them in the base of your microwavable casserole dish, with a couple of chopped garlic and, half an onion also chopped. Add a LITTLE boiled water to cover. This is the point at which you can add your sauces to taste, for example, chilli-dripping sauce [with garlic, Mmmm] and perhaps, a little mustard.

Add a little boiling water, to kinda cover the lentils, before you place the lid on the dish and place in the mike, and ‘cook’, for 3 minutes at three, meaning above defrost. Given the ding, take it out remove the lid and stir; place the lid back on and let it stand, while you finish your coffee and get the spinach out of the freezer. Washing your hands again, just ‘coz you should, perhaps do so, before continuing.

And then, remove the lid, to the casserole dish and place four pieces of frozen spinach in with the lentils and the garlic and onion and stir, with a wooden spoon, or metal, that bit doesn’t matter, but add a teaspoon of granules, from Bisto cheese sauce, does [other products are available, of course]. If you were able to slice any cheese off the block, add them no. Place back into the mike and ‘defrost’ for about three to four minutes, then remove from the mike once more and stir in the lentils and the spinach, then cook, for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir, at least once. Leave to stand, on a ‘safe’ surface, like a wooden chopping board, while you finish the rest of your meal. About two minutes before serving, take the lid of and place the casserole dish beneath the grill on a low light.



It’s ideal, with fish and lamb, or even with scrambled egg or an omelette.

Here’s a tip: Onion’s



Here’s a tip: try using just half an onion and placing the other half unpeeled, in an empty, washed Flora container. Place the tub in the fridge, to use at the latest, within a few days. BUT, if you don’t leave it TOO LONG, when you come to use the onion, you peel and it will be crisp to cut; AND there will be no irritation to the eyes.

Pepppered Mushrooms

Take two mushrooms, about one to one and a half inches in size, ideally Chestnut mushrooms, for example.

[[And, use a microwavable mug and, saucer to go on top.]]



Take the stems out of two mushrooms and place the first one in the cup and, then pour into the well a few drop of chilli dripping sauce, ideally the one with garlic in it.



[[one could use any stems, with garlic and a little onion]]



Next, sprinkle some black pepper over the sauce, in the well and, place a couple of squares of cheese on top of the filled mushroom well.



Then, do the same with the second mushroom and, place on top of the first.



And cook, full whack [[power]] for two minutes, leave to stand and, eat.



Can be served with a portion of Chinese stir-fry veg and an omelette.



Including the omelette and veg… cooking time 10-12 minutes, the meal.



Or, enjoy the peppered mushrooms on a batch: all juicy and VERY tasty.

Doctor Who actress dies

Wed Apr 20 09:40AM by Paul Johnston



Elisabeth Sladen, best known for her role as Sarah Jane Smith in 'Doctor Who', has died at the age of 63.

The BBC confirmed that the actress died yesterday following a battle with cancer.

Elisabeth first appeared in the popular sci-fi series with third Doctor Jon Pertwee back in 1973. She went on to appear alongside Tom Baker's Doctor and years later reprised the role of Sarah Jane Smith when the series was revived by Russell T Davies.

In 2007 she was given her own spin-off show, 'The Sarah Jane Adventures', which ran for four series.

Speaking about the news, Russell T Davies said: "I absolutely loved Lis. She was funny and cheeky and clever and just simply wonderful."

Current 'Doctor Who' executive producer Steven Moffat praised her as a "ferociously talented actress". He added: "'Never meet your heroes', wise people say. They weren't thinking of Lis Sladen. Sarah Jane Smith was everybody's hero when I was younger, and as brave and funny and brilliant as people only ever are in stories.

"But many years later when I met the real Sarah Jane - Lis Sladen herself - she was exactly as any child ever have wanted her to be. Kind and gentle and clever and a ferociously talented actress, of course, but in that perfectly English unassuming way."

CBBC controller Damian Kavanagh said: "I'm deeply saddened and shocked by the news of Lis's untimely death. Lis brought joy, excitement and a sense of wonder to her many fans in her role as Sarah Jane Smith. She was adored by our young audience and I know all of them will miss her as much as I will."

You won't be needing that for a while! Texting motorist who killed OAP is jailed after she turns up at court carrying mobile phone



By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 11:13 PM on 11th April 2011



student who knocked down and killed a grandmother as she read a text message while driving arrived at court today to hear her sentence clutching her mobile.

Keisha Wall, 20, carried the device into Reading Crown Court before she was jailed for two and a half years for causing the death of 63-year-old Christine Lyon in Reading in February last year.

Wall was sitting alongside her mother - a driving instructor - when she lost control of the Suzuki Jimny that she was driving home from a shopping trip.

Wall, who had only passed her driving test months earlier, was looking at the message on her phone when she mounted a pavement.

Mrs Lyon, from Maidenhead, was crushed and killed instantly, a judge was told today.

Wall was last month convicted of causing death by dangerous driving at Reading Crown Court.

She claimed her mother grabbed the wheel from her passenger seat in an attempt to avoid the incident but this evidence was rejected by a jury sitting at her trial.

Judge Stephen John said that the crash came under the lesser category of 'avoidable distraction' under level three for the sentencing guidelines.

'Before you began your journey you had been exchanging text messages with your boyfriend and a girl friend.”

'It was within a period of less than a minute before the collision you had received a text message on your mobile phone.

'I am satisfied that you opened that message and either read or attempted to read it.

'By that action, you lost concentration, left the road and caused the lady's death.

'The jury must have rejected your evidence that your mother had inexplicably grabbed the wheel and herself caused the accident. Your mother was not called to support your evidence,' said Judge John.

'I think it very likely that she did indeed grab the wheel in the moment you left the road in a vain attempt to avoid the catastrophe occurring but she did not cause the car to mount the pavement.

Sentencing Wall to 30 months in a Young Offenders' Institute, Judge John said: 'By your actions that day, you deprived a loving family of their mother and grandmother and a husband of his wife of more than 40 years.

'The simple fact is that she would be alive today if you had not behaved so irresponsibly.

'This was a wholly avoidable accident, which caused a wholly avoidable death. Only you are to blame.”

Text says they are nobody and it’s true, for to be somebody you must acknowledge the world around you and the hurt and pain caused, as their selfish self can whine all the time on about those around, thriving on the attention, like a small child being naughty, so their Mummy will notice them, as they so rarely have, I would guess; as they seek redress, by poking fun at rules that allow them to play the fool and truth be told, look like a tool, damaged and useless.

VR as a safe place?
11:37 Apr 09 2011
Times Read: 885

I was introduced to VR as a safe place, to platform my artwork, stories and poems; and, make connections, with like-minded people, if we both wished.



Yet recently, certain individuals have flouted that idea of a social-network, by mocking it, its members and system, by leaving a one on peoples profiles, effectively acting as a childish schoolyard bully, by utilising the VR systems, to garner attention to themselves, level down people on the site with their one’s then block them.



Heck, if they don’t like VR and, its members, as it seems, “why are they here?”



And, one could ignore them… those that leave one as they do... but one never could ignore a bully, as one always sought to let others see them as they are: and, the right of what one sees, even when it means they might read of what one has to say about them leaving a one. And liking the attention, they did come, “Aw eh, isn’t that ever-so cute ‘n fluffy?”
